hey I am in the process of recording my band and I am stuck on the snare drum tone! I have a new set of heads tuned with a tensionwatch and i'm running a Beta 57A into my digimax PreSonus into Stienberg Nuendo. i'm monitoring back through a Behringer 2004 into my Mackie HR824's. The drummer is killing this thing in the live room but it sound like a little tin can!

Hi guys,

I was thinking of trying my overhead Oktava MC012 on my snare (since it sounds great as an overhead). I see on their web site that it's SPL @ 1 Khz is >140dB. If I close-mike it, that level limitation should be fine, right?

Thanks!
